Delhi CM approves transplantation, felling of trees at proposed Thal Sena Bhavan site

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has approved a proposal for the transplantation and felling of trees to clear land for the Thal Sena Bhavan at Delhi Cantonment, a government official said on Thursday.

The government has mandated compensatory plantation of 10 times the number of trees that would be removed from the site of the building and its premises.

A total of 5,790 new saplings will be planted under the proposal approved by the chief minister, the official said.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh had laid the foundation stone for the Thal Sena Bhavan in February 2020. The seven-storey complex designed ''like a rising sun'' will be spread over nearly 39 acres.
